Loaded with broccoli, cauliflower and extra sharp cheddar cheese, this healthy Slow Cooker Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup couldn’t be easier to make!

Slow Cooker Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup | Loaded with broccoli, cauliflower and extra sharp cheddar cheese, this healthy slow cooker soup couldn't be easier to make! {Gluten free, vegetarian}I think I’ve used my slow cooker more this month than I have all year. I go through phases using it and I’m currently on the use phase. Saturday I made my husband chicken enchiladas for his birthday dinner and made the chicken in the slow cooker. I didn’t have time to mess with dinner one day last week so I threw some chicken in it and made shredded buffalo chicken. I’ve also been making soup like crazy, so I figured why not make one that can be easily made in the slow cooker. No fuss, minimal dishes and a big pot of this Slow Cooker Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup waiting for you to devour!

Slow Cooker Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup | Loaded with broccoli, cauliflower and extra sharp cheddar cheese, this healthy slow cooker soup couldn't be easier to make! {Gluten free, vegetarian}There’s probably a hundred recipes for broccoli cheese soup out there, but not as many for broccoli cauliflower cheese soup. Since I always have cauliflower in my fridge I figured combining the two was a great way to differentiate my recipe from some of the others.

Slow Cooker Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup | Loaded with broccoli, cauliflower and extra sharp cheddar cheese, this healthy slow cooker soup couldn't be easier to make! {Gluten free, vegetarian}Creamy, cheesy soups are ones I generally avoid at restaurants because they’re usually a calorie/fat/sodium bomb. They use excessive amounts of cheese and cream and not so much of the good for you stuff, vegetables. Then of course you have to have a sandwich, salad or at least some warm bread with it, because that bowl of soup isn’t going to keep you full.

Instead of using a ton of cream, cream cheese or canned condensed soups to make this soup creamy, I used my favorite protein packed substitute, Greek yogurt! I honestly don’t know how I got by before this thick yogurt came into existence. While there is definitely a fair amount of cheddar cheese in the soup, it’s probably not as much as you’ll find in many recipes. I used an extra sharp cheddar as a way to get more flavor without having to use as much. This soup is the perfect dinner on a cold night and I’m sure there are plenty of those headed my way. Enjoy!
